	EDTA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		EDTA is the chemical compound ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, otherwise known as edetate, versene, or diaminoethanetetraacetic acid disodium salt.
		EDTA is not degraded or removed during conventional wastewater treatment.
		EDTA at elevated concentrations is toxic to bacteria due to chelation of metals in the outer membrane.

	EDTA Chelation
		EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra acetic Acid) is a synthetic amino acid that is currently approved by the FDA for removing lead and other toxic minerals from the body.
		The EDTA combines with certain metals or minerals, forming a complex, which is eliminated by the body in the urine.
		EDTA chelation therapy is generally administered by physicians in the context of a full therapeutic program involving dietary changes, nutritional supplements, an exercise program and recommendations for stress management.

	Why Is EDTA Chelation Not Widely Accepted?
		An important reason that research into the use of EDTA in the treatment of atherosclerosis and its complications stopped after 1960, until the mid 1980s, was because of an active and vicious campaign of misinformation and unjust harassment of physicians who used EDTA in their practices.
		EDTA is legally available for physician use, and it is quite legal for any licensed physician to utilize a drug for any purpose which, in that physician's judgment is best for his patient.
		Disodium EDTA was administered in a dose of 2.5 gms in 500 ml 1/2N Saline.

	Oral EDTA chelation to remove toxic metals
		Oral EDTA chelation refers to the ingestion of the EDTA as opposed to intravenously injected EDTA which is called I.V. chelation.
		Because EDTA is so effective at removing unwanted metals and other minerals from the blood, it has been the standard, FDA-approved treatment for lead, mercury, aluminum, and cadmium poisoning for more than 50 years.
		It is clear that most of the opposition to EDTA is due to the threat that this therapy represents, not to patients' health, but to the bank balances of orthodox physicians (those who specialize in coronary bypass surgery, for example), hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies.

	Implausibility of EDTA Chelation Therapy
		EDTA, known to reduce serum levels of polyvalent metals by chelation, was proposed in the late 1950s for removal of calcium from atherosclerotic plaques.
		The initial claim for EDTA chelation (1950s) was based on an assumption that the structure of arterial plaque depended on its calcium content.
		The postulated reason for lead binding to EDTA in preference to mercury, for which EDTA has a greater affinity, is that mercury is more tightly bound to tissue ligands by -SH bonds, or that it exists in compartments not available to EDTA.

	Oral EDTA Chelation Therapy
		EDTA was first introduced into medicine in the United States in 1948 as a treatment for industrial workers suffering from lead poisoning in a battery factory.

		EDTA is administered directly into the blood veins and must be administered in a medical office, hopefully under the direction of a doctor who has been trained in EDTA IV chelation therapy.
		EDTA is the only chelator that has been used over the last 50 years to also reverse the effects of arterial plaque, thus preventing further strokes, and / or heart attacks.
		In the 1950’s EDTA was tried with equal success in curing people with lead poisoning who were working in a battery plant and the U.S. Navy used it on people who had acquired lead poisoning in repainting old ships.

	EDTA Chelation Therapy: Mechanisms of Action
		The EDTA molecule is not degraded or altered.
		When EDTA binds a specific metal, and subsequently encounters another ligand (a metalloenzyme, for example) with stronger affinity, that metal ion is dropped and another is substituted.
		EDTA can influence calcium metabolism in many ways, but direct action on calcium is not adequate to explain the many benefits that follow chelation.
